This should be the easy part, right? My friend encouraged me to take a look at this site and here I am. Even though I love to write, I hate completing these "essays." I'd rather spend time talking with someone and just letting things flow naturally. I love a good conversation so if you're interested in me please be prepared to talk. Also, if I contact you and you're not interested, just say so and please keep your disparaging remarks to yourself. I know that I'm a big woman and not every man likes that. I can appreciate that everyone has their preferences, heck I know I have mine. None of us are the universe's gift to the Earth. If we were we wouldn't be on an online dating site... and some of you are probably on more than one!

Okay..on to the basics.

I enjoy writing and film making. It's my hope to some day make a movie that will make people think. For me, successful film making isn't about the fame or the money. Those are great perks but I would rather have my work loved and appreciated even if it's only by three people. If it's meant to be, the fame and fortune will come without me chasing after them. I also enjoy a wide range of music but most days you can find me listening to 30s - 60s era music; I like Big Band music and artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Josephine Baker, and Glenn Miller. Before you start thinking that I'm a square, I LOVE myself some hard rock music. I love Marilyn Manson, Metallica, Dethklok (EXTRA points if you know who they are and like them),Rob Zombie, Ozzy...like I said, I like a wide range and will listen to anything once.

Let's see, what makes me unique. I'm honest to a fault. If you ask me a question be prepared to handle the truth and it may hurt. I don't lie about myself, who I am, or what I look like. My intention is to meet someone I can date so lying about what I look like wouldn't benefit me in the least. I am attractive, well dressed, have all of my teeth (none are fake either), I'm employed, educated, and have been referred to as sophisticated but I do have my rough days. I own my home and don't have any kids but I do have two dogs and two cats.

I also have a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor. People either really like me or they're confused by humor or they're offended because of their confusion. I'm a pretty upbeat person and I can find the lighter side of any situation. People don't know how to handle that either. I can be a bit acerbic at times as well. On those days I'm more like a young, up and coming Denis Leary. Yeah, you hear me knocking and I'm coming in!

I'm generally an open minded person. I try not to prejudge people but we all do it, it's human nature. I don't date people based on looks alone either. Sure it's great to date the hot guy but if he's an ass then all you've got is a hot ass...and not in a good way! Personality and a great sense of humor are very important to me. I want to spend my time with someone who is going to make me laugh as much as I make myself laugh. Trust me, that can be a full time job!

I am only interested in dating SINGLE men. If you are not familiar with the definition of the word single I suggest you either Google it or visit dictionary.com. If you're a woman and you see that I've visited your page, it's probably because of something you posted in the forums that I agreed with or was impressed by. I am not hitting on you...seriously!

I would like to believe that I don't have a "type" however I tend to find myself drawn to men who look like Michael Chiklis (he absolutely makes me weak in the knees). Not so much an exact look but I like bald men who are sturdily built. That doesn't mean I'll turn you down if you don't look like him, I'm just throwing it out there in case he has a twin here. Now let me clarify something because a LOT of you men complain about women lying about how they look and you are in as much denial as they are. You insult women about their weight and you describe yourself as being of "average" build but you look like you're about to give birth to a cow. THAT is not average! Well, then again we are in the south and almost everyone has that beer belly. You can't throw stones at the ladies...some of you need to invest in mirrors. Also, if I ask what you look like, I am asking what you look like now, not what you looked like 15 years ago! To that end, please have a picture, and no I do not mean of your Mr. Frank and his best friend Beans. Something where you're clothed and I can see your face is highly preferable.

Now before anyone starts sending me nasty emails....remember me saying I was honest and not delusional about myself? I know I'm fat...overweight...out of shape... I know this (and I won't be this way forever) but that doesn't mean that I am or should be attracted to fat, overweight, out of shape men. It all goes back to what your preferences are; you like what you like and I like what I like. I will never be rude to anyone about how they look because I know I'm not the most beautiful person in the world and have no room to judge..but at the same time do not expect me to settle. I have a lot more to offer than the body in which my intelligence and creativity are housed. Besides that, I'm an exercise addict now. Hopefully you enjoy a healthy lifestyle as well.

I also like tall men; I'm about 5'9.5" so I'd like to at least be able to look a guy in his eyes. I have dated guys who were shorter (not too much shorter) than me; I don't have a problem with it as long as you don't. Beyond the physical, I like men who are smart. If you can do Calculus then you're dead sexy in my book! Other turn-ons include speaking French, being musically inclined, and beautiful lips. Kissing is my favorite sport and I find beautiful lips irresistible. He also has to be able to keep up his end of a conversation. I think I mentioned that once but it bears repeating twice. I have a short attention span sometimes and if you can't keep me interested then I'm going to get bored with you rather quickly. I'm not trying to be mean; I love good conversation as much as I love good sex and one usually leads to the other so he has to be good at both. Speaking of which, a healthy and active sex drive is also appreciated. I'm a very sexual person and a notorious flirt. If I think you're hot I'll probably tell you.

Well, that's about it but you know there's more. Don't be afraid to contact me. I won't bite unless you ask me to! One last thing... do not contact me expecting that I will agree to meet you after the first email. Do not expect to hook up for sex. I'm a flirt...I'm going to hit on you but that does not mean that I'm ready to hit the sheets. Oh and don't ask me if I'll make an exception to my SINGLE men only rule. I do not care that you have "special" arrangements with your wife/girlfriend, I don't care that you're not getting

First dates can be a bit nervous and awkward. I like doing things that will generate good conversations like going to the Frist or even a movie. I suppose any thought provoking activity can generate good conversations but both people have to be into it. I'm pretty open to any activity. The perfect first date would be board games and a movie. I'm a bit competitive so you have to be okay with trash talking and losing. It's all in fun though!

If you're expecting sex on the first date, please go ahead and go to the next profile. I really don't understand that concept at all. If you're just trying to add to the number of women you've slept with then I'm not the woman for you.
